i read an interview with the founder of Everlane and even he said "no one is getting laid in Everlane."

Everlane uses really good quality fabrics, but the design is kind of awful. Very unflattering, usually. So that is where they are saving money.



It's annoying because their men's clothes are much better. I wish they could make more flattering women's clothes.

I feel like it will be the same situation as Everlane -- very good fabric, but cut/design will be not good.

Yup. Clothing that costs money to produce (using real material like silk, etc, and very good stitching, and are designed to be flattering) will cost money to buy. I have so many vintage gems that will hold up -- Armani, marc Jacobs...

I have Uniqlo basics that have lasted a long time. There's not much tailored stuff at Uniqlo though, more like casual basics.

This. So frustrating when I pay more for quality and it still doesn’t last.

Yet I still have things purchased from J Crew and believe it or not, Old Navy 20+ years ago that are still amazing.

I was purging some boxed items in my house, and dug up a business wear dress I had purchased from Casual Corner (if you remember that store, it's not upper end) when I first started working in the late 90s.

Man, that dress was wonderfully sewn, bust darts in the proper place, fully lined, with a zipper that just disappeared when zipped up. I'm thinking that today, you couldn't find a dress like that for less than $300.


I loved casual corner! I would have held onto all those cute petite dresses and suits had I know how bad it would become in the 2020s.

Everlane seems to be good quality and decent prices, but I wish the fit of most of their clothes wasn't so boxy and shapeless.

OP, if this were a common thing, wouldn’t you and everyone else already know?
